I'm currently reading a book called 2082: The Chronicles Of Hope and though i wouldn't say its the best book i've read (it's not that polished) it's incredibly thought provoking. It's about an atheist revolutionary politician who is a bit of a working class genius. For the book think 1984 meets one flew over the cuckoo's nest, for the main character think george carlin meets charles darwin. It's been pushed by dawkins in the UK, worth checking out the first chapter for free here, it's got a speech on atheism that is genius - http://thechroniclesofhope.com/preview/

Haven't been through the series in years, even though it's a sentimental favourite (as some of you will have gathered from my sig image) and, along with Bondage Fairies, one of the series that got me into manga in the first place.

Very charming and full of humor. Just discovered that Tiggers can climb up trees but can't climb down them because their tails get in the way and they can't jump down because they're actually swimming animals not jumping animals like Kanga. Damn, I want to channel this delightful style and take off with it (with my own sort of spin of course) for something but I don't know what.

The Percy Jackson series. My 11 year old son has been bugging me for a while so we can have a book descussion. I am on book two. This is not the first time I have done this with my kids. I did the Harry Potter series and a few others. It is kind of nice to have a sort of book club with the kids.
